An extended first look for the forthcoming film adaptation of stage musical Les Miserables has been released. Stars of the musical including Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Samantha Barks and Anne Hathaway discuss how singing live during every take has impacted on the way that the actors have approached their roles. We are promised that this will be more impressive than other movie musicals and at first glance it may be that director Tom Hooper has got cause to make this bold claim.
I’m still reserving judgement. I’m still nervous – after all Les Mis is my favourite musical of all time, but I’m becoming even more hopeful by the day.
(Oh, I think an extended first look is actually just another name for DVD extra).
